PREFACE. 


This  book  is  the  result  of  the  labors  of  a  Committee  appointed  by  the 
General  Council  of  the  Evangelical  Lutheran  Church  in  North  America, 
and  is  issued  in  response  to  the  demand  for  a  Hymnal  especial]}7  adapted 
for  use  with  little  children  in  School  and  Family. 

For  school  purposes,  in  addition  to  the  hymns,  a  Service  has  been  pro- 
vided, based,  as  far  as  practicable  for  use  with  little  children,  on  the  old 
Matin  and  Vesper  Service  of  the  Lutheran  Church ;  and  as  it  is  hoped 
that  parents  will  find  pleasure  and  profit  in  using  the  book  with  their 
little  ones  at  home,  an  ample  variety  of  Morning,  Evening,  and  Table 
Prayers,  and  Morning,  Evening,  and  Nursery  Hymns  has  been  inserted. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  book  the  Committee  haye,  as  far  as  possible, 
adhered  to  the  principle  of  choosing  only  such  hymns  and  tunes  as  com- 
bine substantial  merit  with  child-like  simplicity.  In  a  few  instances 
indeed,  this  principle  may  perhaps  have  been  violated  by  the  admission 
of  hymns  and  tunes  which  may  seem  somewhat  too  difficult  for  little 
children.  But  this  has  been  done  only,  when  under  certain  subjects, 
and  in  the  case  of  certain  metres,  a  hymn  or  tune  could  not  be  found 
that  was  at  once  meritorious  and  simple  to  the  degree  that  might  be 
desired.  Still,  it  is  believed  that  the  book  does  not  contain  a  single 
hymn  or  tune  that  little  children  can  not  learn,  provided  they  have  a 


preface. 

faithful,  persevering,  and  patient  teacher.  Moreover,  children  should  in 
early  life  be  made  familiar  with  the  best  hymns  and  tunes,  as  only  these 
will  retain  their  place  and  influence,  when  mere  childish  pieces,  like  the 
toys  of  early  years,  have  been  laid  aside. 

Grateful  acknowledgment  is  made  to  Mrs.  Harriet  Reynolds  Spaeth 
and  Miss  Mary  Welden,  of  Philadelphia,  for  various  hymns  translated 
from  the  German ;  to  the  Rev.  E.  Greenwald,  D.D.,  Pastor  of  Trinity 
Church,  Lancaster,  Pa.,  for  most  of  the  Opening  and  Closing  Prayers ; 
and  to  the  Rev.  F.  M.  Bird,  of  Lehigh  University,  for  valuable  assist- 
ance in  verifying  dates,  and  in  ascertaining,  as  far  as  possible,  the  author- 
ship and  the  correct  text  of  the  hymns.  In  this  part  of  their  work,  the 
Committee  have  encountered  many  difficulties.  Quite  a  number  of 
children's  hymns  are  anonymous  publications ;  and  the  special  subject 
of  Juvenile  Hymnody  has  not  yet  received  that  careful  attention  which 
makes  it  possible,  in  every  instance,  to  determine  which  of  several  ver- 
sions is  the  original  text. 

The  Committee  have  been  careful  not  to  infringe  upon  any  copyrights. 
If  they  have  however  unconsciously  done  so,  and  are  advised  of  the  fact, 
all  due  acknowledgments  will  be  made  in  future  editions.

SUGGESTIONS. 

1.  The  teaching  of  hymns  and  tunes  should  form  a  part  of  "  The 
Instruction." 

2.  It  is  in  accordance  with  ancient  usage  to  use  two  or  three  Psalms 
at  the  same  service. 

3.  If  possible,  the  Psalm  or  Psalms  should  always  be  sang. 

4.  In  the  Opening  and  Closing  Prayers  to  be  said  by  the  children,  the 
Teacher  should  lead. 

5.  To  assist  the  Teacher,  and  to  save  the  time  for  other  instruction  in 
the  School,  parents  should  provide  themselves  with  the  book,  and  teach 
their  children  the  Service  and  hymns,  and  if  possible,  the  tunes,  at 
home.

"JEuening. 

JESUS,  tender  Shepherd,  hear  me, 
Bless  Thy  little  lamb  to-night; 
Through  the  darkness  be  Thou  near  me, 
Keep  me  safe  till  morning  light. 

All  this  day  Thy  hand  has  led  me, 
And  I  thank  Thee  for  Thy  care ; 

Thou  hast  warmed  me,  clothed  and  fed  me, 
Listen  to  my  evening  prayer. 

May  my  sins  be  all  forgiven ; 

Bless  the  friends  I  love  so  well ; 
Take  us,  Lord,  at  last  to  heaven, 

Happy  there  with  Thee  to  dwell.     Amen. 

2* 

AT  the  close  of  every  day, 
Lord,  to  Thee  I  kneel  and  pray. 
Look  upon  Thy  little  child, 
Look  in  love  and  mercy  mild. 
O  forgive  and  wash  away 
All  my  naughtiness  this  day ; 
And  both  when  I  sleep  and  wake, 
Bless  me  for  my  Saviour's  sake.     Amen. 

3. 

HOLY  JESUS,  here  I  bow, 
Hear  the  prayers  I  offer  now; 
By  Thy  mercy  meek  and  mild, 
Listen  to  Thy  little  child.

Gracious  Saviour !    be  my  Guide, 
Keep  me  always  near  Thy  side ; 
Watch  around  my  bed  this  night, 
Brinsr  me  safe  to  morning  light. 

Wrongs  that  I  have  done  forgive, 
Teach  me  better  how  to  live ; 
Make  me  good  and  true  like  Thee, 
Save  my  soul  eternally.     Amen. 

4* 

OAVIOUR,  by  Thy  mercy  blest, 
^  Now  I  give  myself  to  rest ; 
Should'st  Thou  come  before  I  rise, 
Saviour,  take  me  to  the  skies.     Amen. 

5. 

NOW  I  lay  me  down  to  sleep, 
I  pray  Thee,  Lord,  my  soul  to  keep ; 
If  I  should  die  before  I  wake, 
I  pray  Thee,  Lord,  my  soul  to  take ; 
And  this  I  ask  for  Jesus'  sake.     Amen.

GOD  ..  is  our  |  refuge  ..  and  |  strength  :  || 
A  very  |  pres-ent  |  help  in  |  trouble. 

Therefore  will  not  we  fear,  though  the  earth  |  be  re-  |  moved  :  || 

And  though  the  mountains  be  car-ried  into  the  |  midst  —  |  of.,  the  |

Though  the  waters  thereof  roar  |  and  ..  be  |  troubled  :  ||

There  is  a  river,  the  streams  whereof  shall  make  glad  ..  the  |  city  ..  of  | 
God:  ||

God  is  in  the  midst  of  her,  she  ..  shall  |  not ..  be  |  moved  :  || 
God  shall  help  her, ..  and  |  that.,  right  |  ear |  ly. 

The  heathen  raged,  the  king-doms  were  |  mov |  ed  :  || 

He  uttered  His  voice, ..  the  |  earth  —  |  melt-  —  |  ed. 

The  Lord  of  hosts  ..  is  |  with  —  |  us :  || 
The  God  ..  of  |  Ja-cob  |  is  our  |  refuge. 


Come,  behold  the  works  |  of.,  the  |  Lord :  || 
What  desolation  He  ..  hath  I  made  —  I  in  ..  the

He  maketh  wars  to  cease  ..  unto  the  end  |  of.,  the  |  earth  :  ||

2  It  was  Thine  Almighty  arm 

Kept  me  all  night  long  from  harm  ; 
It  is  only,  Lord,  by  Thee, 
That  another  morn  I  see. 

3  Lo !  the  happy  light  of  day 
Drives  the  shadows  all  away; 
Lo!  it  brings  again  to  sight 
All  tilings  beautiful  and  bright:

Greenest  fields  and  rippling  streams, 
Glittering  in  the  morning  beams.

2  I  too  thanks  would  offer, 

Jesus,  Shepherd  dear, 

For  Thy  tender  pasture, 

For  Thy  guiding  care. 

3  And  I  would  implore  Thee, 

Be  with  me  this  day, 
Lest  I  from  Thee  wander, 
Into  danger  stray. 

4  If  Thou  dwell  within  me, 

Evil  far  must  go, 


And  I  shall  be  tasting 
Bliss  that  angels  know. 

5  In  the  hush  of  evening, 

With  the  sun's  last  rays, 
All  God's  little  children 

Thank,  and  pray,  and  praise.

Jesus,  Saviour  dear, 
Whether  waking,  sleeping, 

Thine  we  children  are.     Amen.

Come  in  our  hearts  to  dwell, 
And  let  our  lives  and  voices 
Thy  praise  and  glory  tell.

Must  like  our  Saviour  be,

King  out  from  every  heart ; 

Draw  nigh  to  us,  O  Jesus, 
And  never  more  depart.

With  angels  in  tire  sky, 

Hosanna !  loud  Hosanna ! 
Shall  be  Thy  children's  cry.   Amen.

2  Alleluia  Ave  sing,  like  the  children  bright, 

With  their  harps  of  gold,  and  their  raiment  white, 
As  they  follow  their  Shepherd  with  loving  eyes 
Through  the  beautiful  valleys  of  Paradise. 

3  Hosanna  we  sing,  for  He  bends  His  ear, 
And  rejoices  the  hymns  of  His  own  to  hear; 
We  know  that  His  heart  will  never  wax  cold 
To  the  lambs  that  He  feeds  in  His  earthly  fold. 

4  Alleluia  we  sing  in  the  Church  we  love, 
Alleluia  resounds  in  the  Church  above ; 

To  Thy  little  ones,  Lord,  may  such  grace  be  given, 
That  we  lose  not  our  part  in  the  song  of  heaven.     Amen.

2  He;  came  down  to  earth  from  heaven, 
Who  is  God  and  Lord  of  all, 
And  His  shelter  was  a  stable, 
And  His  cradle  was  a  stall ; 
With  the  poor,  and  mean,  and  lowly, 
Lived  on  earth  our  Saviour  holy. 

?>  And,  thro'  all  His  wondrous  childhood, 

He  would  honor  and  obey, 
Love  and  watch  the  lowly  maiden 

In  whose  gentle  arms  He  lay; 
Christian  children  all  must  be 
Mild,  obedient,  good  as  He. 

4  For  He  is  our  childhood's  Pattern, 
Day  by  day  like  us  He  grew, 
He  was  little,  weak  and  helpless, 
Tears  and  smiles  like  us  He  knew  : 


*=#=^ 


And  He  feeleth  for  our  sadness, 
And  He  shareth  in  our  gladness. 

5  And  our  eyes  at  Jast  shall  see  Him, 
Through  His  own  redeeming  love, 
For  that  Child  so  dear  and  gentle 

Is  our  Lord  in  Heaven  above; 
And  He  leads  His  children  on 
To  the  place  where  He  is  gone. 

6"  Not  in  that  poor  lowly  stable, 
With  the  oxen  standing  by, 
We  shall  see  Him  ;  but  in  Heaven, 
Set  at  God's  right  hand  on  high  ; 
When  like  stars  II is  children  crowned 
All  in  white  shall  wait  around.

2  Yes,  we  know  the  story  well ; 
Listen  now,  and  hear  us  tell 
Every  girl  and  every  boy, 
Why  the  angels  sing  for  joy 
On  the  Christmas  morning. 

?>  Shepherds  sat  upon  the  ground, 
Fleecy  flocks  were  scattered  round, 
When  a  brightness  filled  the  sky, 
And  a  song  was  beard  on  high 
On  the  Christmas  morning. 

4  "  Joy  and  peace !"  the  angels  sang; 
Far  the  pleasant  echoes  rang; 


I- 
"  Peace  on  earth,  to  men  good-will ;" 
Hark  !  the  angels  sing  it  still 
On  the  Christmas  morning. 

5  For  a  little  Babe  that  day 
Cradled  in  a  manger  lay, 
Born  on  earth  our  Lord  to  be; 
This  the  wondering  angels  see 
On  the  Christmas  morning. 

G  Joy  our  little  hearts  shall  fill, 
Peace  and  love,  and  all  good-will ; 
This  fair  Babe  of  Bethlehem 
Children  loves,  and  blesses  them 
On  the  Christmas  morning.

I'm  glad  my  blessed  Saviour 

Was  once  a  child  like  me, 
To  show  how  pure  and  holy 

His  little  ones  might  be ; 
And  if  I  try  to  follow 

His  footsteps  here  below, 
He  never  will  forget  me, 

Because  He  loves  me  so. 


3  To  sing  His  love  and  mercy 
My  sweetest  songs  I'll  raise  ; 
And  though  I  cannot  see  Him, 
I  know  He  hears  my  praise ; 
For  He  has  kindly  promised 

That  even  I  may  go 
To  sing  among  His  angels, 
Because  He  loves  me  so.

2  It  tells  me  of  a  Saviour's  love, 

Who  died  to  set  me  free ; 
It  tells  me  of  His  precious  blood, 
The  sinner's  perfect  plea. 

3  It  tells  me  of  a  Father's  smile 

Beaming  upon  His  child  ; 


It  cheers  me  through  this  little  while, 
Through  desert,  waste,  and  wild. 

4  Jesus,  the  Name  I  love  so  well, 

The  Name  I  love  to  hear ; 
No  saint  on  earth  its  worth  can  tell, 

No  heart  conceive  how  dear.

2  His  human  Name  they  did  proclaim 

When  Abram's  son  they  sealed  Him, — 

The  Name  that  still  by  God's  good  will, 
Deliverer  revealed  Him. 
We  love  to  sing,  etc. 

3  And  when  He  hung  upon  the  tree, 

They  wrote  this  Name  above  Him  ; 
That  all  might  see  the  reason  we 
For  evermore  must  love  Him. 
We  love  to  sing,  etc. 

4  So  now,  upon  His  Father's  throne, 

Almighty  to  release  us 
From  sins  and  pains,  lit"  gladly  reigns, 
The  Prince  and  Saviour  Jesus. 
We  love  to  sing,  etc. 


5  To  Jesus  every  knee  shall  bow, 
And  every  tongue  confess  Him, 
And  we  unite  with  saints  in  light, 
Our  only  Lord  to  bless  Him. 
We  love  to  sing,  etc. 

f>  O  Jesus,  by  that  matchless  Name, 

Thy  grace  shall  fail  us  never; 
To-day  as  yesterday  the  same, 

Thou  art  the  same  for  ever. 
Then  let  us  sing  around  our  King, 

The  faithful,  precious  Jesus. 
For  there's  no  word  ear  ever  heard, 

So  dear,  so  sweet,  as  Jesus.

2  O'er  the  dusty  highway, 

O'er  the  deserts  drear, 
From  the  East  the  wise  men 

Watch  it  shining  clear; 
Asking,  "Shall  we  follow 

In  this  starlit  way?'' 
Answering,  4"  Yes,  'twill  lead  us 

To  the  perfect  day.''

Lies  an  infant  weak  ;

Where  Judea's  King?" 
Saying,  "Gifts  and  worship 

To  His  throne  we  bring."

See  this  star  once  more ; 
Not  as  wise  men  saw  it 

In  the  days  of  yore ; 
Asking,  "  May  we  bring  Him 

Childhood's  love  to-day?"

2  The  meek  Lamb  of  God  from  heaven  came  down, 
To  ransom  with  blood,  and  make  us  His  own : 
And  Him  without  ceasing  we  all  shall  proclaim, 
And  ever  be  blessing  our  Jesus'  great  Name. 

3  To  Him  will  we  give  our  earliest  days, 
And  thankfully  live  to  publish  His  praise: 

Our  lives  shall  confess  Him  who  came  from  above: 

Our  tongues  ever  bless  Him,  and  tell  of  His  love.     Amen.

2  Rolls  the  heavy  stone  away 
From  the  tomb  where  Jesus  lay, 

Over  Death  victorious ; 
Forth  in  radiant  majesty 
From  the  grave's  captivity 

Comes  the  Saviour  glorious. 

3  When  the  sun  expels  the  night 
From  the  plain,  and  mountain-height 

Tips  with  rosy  gleaming, 


Then  the  Sun  of  righteousness 

O'er  this  world's  unhappiness 

Sheds  His  joyous  beaming. 

So  into  your  hearts  of  sin, 
Children,  let  Him  enter  in 

At  your  life's  first  morning, 
That  with  beams  of  light  divine 
Be  through  all  your  lives  may  shine 

Till  the  heavenly  dawning.

The  way  to  endless  life,

Loving,  faithful  to  the  end ; 
Richest  gifts  from  Him  descend, 

Joy  and  peace. 

3  Once  from  heaven  to  earth  He  came, 
Suffered  death,  contempt,  and  blame, 
Died  upon  a  cross  of  shame, 

Crowned  with  thorns. 

4  'Twas  our  sinful  souls  to  save 
Thus  His  precious  blood  He  gave; 
Ransomed  now  from  sin's  dark  grave,

All  our  highest  thoughts  above !

We  would  early  seek  and  find  ; 
And  our  souls  in  covenant  bind, 

Thine  to  be. 

7  For  our  sins  we  deeply  grieve, 
But  Thy  promise  we  believe, 

"Him  that  cometh  I  receive :"

4  Every  bird  can  build  its  nest; 
Foxes  have  their  place  of  rest ; 
He,  by  whom  the  world  was  made, 
Had  not  where  to  lay  His  head. 

5  He  who  is  the  Lord  most  high, 
Then  was  poorer  far  than  I, 
That  I  might  hereafter  be 
Eich  to  all  eternity. 


2  Tims  He  laid  His  glory  by, 
When  for  us  He  stooped  to  die ; 
How  I  wonder,  when  I  see 
His  unbounded  love  to  me. 

3  He  the  sick  to  health  restored, 

To  the  poor  He  preached  the  word ; 
Even  children  had  a  share 
Of  His  love  and  tender  care.

Jesus,  the  Shepherd,  His  little  one  keeps; 
Darkness  to  Him  is  the  same  as  the  light, 
He  never  slumbers  and  He  never  sleeps. 

3  He  will  take  care  of  you.     All  through  the  year, 

Crowning  each  day  with  His  kindness  and  love, 
Sending  you  blessings,  and  shielding  from  fear, 
Leading  you  on  to  the  bright  home  above. 

4  He  will  take  care  of  you.     Yes;   to  the  end 

Nothing  can  alter  His  love  for  His  own  ; 
Children,  be  glad  that  you  have  such  a  Friend; 
He  will  not  leave  you  one  moment  alone.

2  Once  He  was  just  the  age  I  am, 

And  was  as  helpless  too ; 
He  used  to  sleep,  and  walk,  and  speak, 
Just  as  all  children  do. 

3  And  yet,  though  He  was  once  a  child, 

He  is  the  God  of  all ; 
And  angel  hosts  before  His  throne 
In  lowly  worship  fall. 


108 


4  And  why  was  it  He  chose  to  be 

A  child  so  poor  and  weak  ? 
It  was  that  I  might  learn  from  Him 
How  blessed  are  the  meek ; 

5  It  was  that  I  might  learn  from  Him 

My  parents  to  obey, 
And,  like  the  Child  of  Nazareth, 
Grow  holier  every  day.

His  home  is  everywhere, 
He  loves  that  little  children 
Should  speak  to  Him  in  prayer. 

3  Ouce  He  came  down  from  Heaven, 

And  became  a  little  child, 
He  was  so  good  and  gentle, 
Obedient,  meek,  and  mild. 

4  He  had  no  naughty  tempers, 

He  said  no  angry  word, 


111 


And  all  good  little  children 

Should  be  like  Christ  their  Lord;

And  teachable  and  mild, 
And  has  sent  His  blessed  Spirit 
To  every  Christian  child. 

6  Then  every  night  and  morning, 

When  I  kneel  down  to  pray, 
I  will  ask  the  Holy  Jesus 
To  help  me  day  by  day.

2  And  I,  a  little  straying  lamb, 
May  come  to  Jesus  as  I  am, 

Though  goodness  I  have  none ; 
May  now  be  folded  on  His  breast, 
As  birds  within  the  parent  nest, 

And  be  His  little  one? 

3  Others  there  are  who  love  me  too; 
But  who,  with  all  their  love,  could  do 

What  Jesus  Christ  has  done? 


Then  if  He  teaches  me  to  pray, 
I'll  surely  go  to  Him  and  say. 
"  Lord,  keep  Thy  little  one." 

4  Then  by  this  gracious  Shepherd  fed, 
And  by  His  mercy  gently  led 

Where  living  waters  run  ; 
My  greatest  pleasure  will  be  this: 
That  I'm  a  little  lamb  of  His, 
Who  loves  the  little  one.

2  Little  sighs  and  little  prayers, 
Even  little  tears  which  fall : 
Little  hopes  and  fears  and  cares. 
Saviour,  Thou  dost  know  them  all. 


?>  Thus  my  greatest  joy  is  this. 

That  my  Saviour,  loving,  mild, 

Knows  the  children's  weaknesses, 

And  Himself  was  once  a  child.

2  O  day  by  day,  each  Christian  child 

Has  much  to  do,  without,  within; 
A  death  to  die  for  Jesus'  sake, 
A  weary  war  to  wage  with  sin. 

3  When  deep  within  our  swelling  hearts 

The  thoughts  of  pride  and  anger  rise, 


When  bitter  words  are  on  our  tongues, 
And  tears  of  passion  in  our  eyes; — 

1  Then  we  may  stay  the  angry  blow, 
Then  we  may  cheek  the  hasty  word, 
(Jive  gentle  answers  baek  again, 
And  fight  a  battle  for  our  Lord. 


120 


General  ^gmns. 


5  With  smiles  of  peace,  and  looks  of  love, 
Light  in  our  dwellings  we  may  make, 
Bid  kind  good  humor  brighten  there, 
And  do  all  still  for  Jesus'  sake. 


6  There's  not  a  child  so  small  and  weak 
But  has  his  little  cross  to  take, 
His  little  work  of  love  and  praise- 
That  he  may  do  for  Jesus'  sake. 
Cecil  F.  Alexander  (1823—),  1850.    Abridged.

Made  them  pure  and  holy, 
And  on  earth  His  gentle  love 
Trained  them  for  their  Home  above, 
Safe  from  sin  and  folly. 


Blessed  Jesus,  take  me  too, 

Though  I'm  weak  and  lowly, 
Let  thy  gentle  grace  within 
Make  my  garments  white  and  clean, 
And  my  spirit  holy.     Amen.

2  There's  a  rest  for  little  children 

Above  the  bright  blue  sky, 
Who  love  the  blessed  Saviour 

And  Abba,  Father,  cry  ; 
A  rest  from  every  turmoil, 

From  sin  and  danger  free, 
Where  every  little  pilgrim 

Shall  rest  eternally. 

3  There's  a  home  for  little  children 

Above  the  bright  blue  sky, 
Where  .Je>ns  reigns  in  glory, — 

A  home  of  peace  and  joy; 
Xo  home  on  earth  is  like  it, 

Nor  can  with  it  compare, 
For  every  one  is  happy, 

Nor  could  be  happier,  there. 

4  There's  a  crown  for  little  children 

Above  the  bright  bine  sky, 
And  all  who  look  for  Jesus 
Shall  wear  it  by-and-by  ; 


127 


A  crown  of  brightest  glory, 

Which  He  will  then  bestow 

On  all  who've  found  His  favor. 

And  loved  His  Name  below. 

5  There's  a  song  for  little  children 

Above  the  bright  blue  sky, 
A  song  that  will  not  weary. 

Though  sung  continually; 
A  song  which  even  angels 

Can  never,  never  sing; 
They  know  not  Christ  as  Saviour, 

But  worship  Him  as  King. 

6  There's  a  robe  for  little  children 

Above  the  bright  blue  sky; 
And  a  harp  of  sweetest  music, 

And  a  palm  of  victory. 
All.  all  above  is  treasured, 

And  found  in  Christ  alone; 
O  come,  dear  little  children, 

That  all  may  be  your  own.

And  spread  from  plain  to  plain  ; 
While  louder,  sweeter,  clearer  still, 
Woods  echo  to  the  strain.

O'er  earth  and  ocean  fly  ;

Till  morn  to  eve.  and  noon  to  night,

Hosanna  to  our  King; 
This  is  the  children's  jubilee, 
Let  all  the  children  sing.     Amen.

2  Lord  Jesus,  God  and  Man, 

In  this  our  festal  day, 
To  Thee  for  precious  gifts  of  grace 
Thy  ransomed  people  pray. 

3  We  pray  for  childlike  hearts, 

For  gentle  holy  love, 
For  strength  to  do  Thy  will  below 
As  angels  do  above. 

4  We  pray  for  simple  faith, 

For  hope  that  never  fain  Is, 

For  true  communion  evermore 

With  all  Thy  blessed  saints.

uh 


5  On  friends  around  us  here 

O  let  Thy  blessing  fall ; 
We  pray  for  grace  to  love  them  well, 
But  Thee  beyond  them  all. 

6  O  joy  to  live  for  Thee ! 

O  joy  in  Thee  to  die ! 

O  very  joy  of  joys  to  see 

Thy  face  eternally ! 

7  Lord  Jesus,  God  and  Man, 

We  praise  Thee  and  adore, 
Who  art  with  God  the  Father  One 
And  Spirit  evermore.     Amen.

2  Baby  brother,  baby  brother, 

While  I  rock  you  on  my  arm, 
You  are  safe,  my  baby  brother, 
No  one  here  will  do  you  harm. 

3  Baby  brother,  baby  brother, 

Once  the  Lord  of  life  and  love 
Came,  on  earth  a  little  baby, 

From  His  throne  in  Heaven  above. 

4  Baby  brother,  baby  brother, 

Jesus  had  a  mother  too, 
And  she  nursed  Iliin  and  she  loved  Him, 
Just  as  mother  loveth  you.

5  Baby  brother,  baby  brother, 

Shall  I  tell  you  why  He  came? 
That  we  might  become  His  children, 
And  be  called  by  His  Name. 

6  Baby  brother,  baby  brother, 

Jesus  came,  and  lived,  and  died ; 
Lived  to  teach  us  to  be  holy, 
And  for  us  was  crucified. 

7  Baby  brother,  baby  brother, 

On  our  brow  His  cross  we  wear  ; 
If  we  love  as  He  has  loved  us, 
We  His  own  true  children  are. 


134 


Hurscru* 


Baby  brother,  baby  brother, 
Jesus  rose  again  on  high, 

There  He  waits  to  make  us  ready, 
Till  He  take  us  to  the  sky. 


9  Baby  brother,  baby  brother, 

O  how  thankful  we  must  feel, 

That  the  blest  and  holy  Saviour 

Loves  us  little  children  still  !

2  O  little  child  !  he  still  and  rest; 

He  sweetly  sleeps,  whom  Jesus  keeps, 
And  in  the  morning  wakes  so  blest, 

His  child  to  be; 
Love  every  one,  but  love  Him  best: 

He  first  loved  thee. 

3  O  little  child  !  when  thou  must  die, 
Fear  nothing  then,  but  say  "Amen  " 
To  God's  commands,  and  quiet  lie 

In  His  kind  hand, 


1/        " 

Till  He  shall  say,  "  Dear  child,  come,  fly 
To  heaven's  bright  land." 

4  Then    with    thine   angel -wings    quick 
grown, 
Thou  shalt  ascend  to  meet  thy  Friend ; 
Jesus  the  little  child  will  own, 

Safe  at  His  side ; 
And  thou  shalt  live  before  the  throne, 
Because  He  died.

How  much  better  thou'rt  attended 

Than  the  Son  of  God  could  be, 
When  from  heaven  He  descended, 

And  became  a  child  like  thee ! 
Soft  and  easy  is  thy  cradle ; 

Coarse  and  hard  thy  Saviour  lay, 
When  His  birth-place  was  a  stable, 

And  His  softest  bed  was  hay. 


1:7 


3  May'st  thou  live  to  know  and  fear  Him, 
Trust  and  love  Him  all  thy  days; 
Then  go  dwell  forever  near  Him, 

Sec  His  face,  and  sing  1 1  is  praise. 
I  could  give  thee  thousand  kisses, 

Hoping  what  I  most  desire; 
Not  a  mother's  fondest  wishes 
Can  to  greater  joys  aspire.

2  Thou  blessed  soul,  what  canst  thou  fear? 

What  thing  to  thee  can  mischief  do? 
Thy  God  is  now  thy  Father  dear, 

His  holy  Spouse,  thy  mother  too. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear ;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

3  Though  thy  conception  was  in  sin, 

A  sacred  bathing  thou  hast  had ; 
And  tho'  thy  birth  unclean  hath  been, 

A  blameless  babe  thou  now  art  made. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear ;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

4  While  thus  thy  lullaby  I  sing, 

For  thee  great  blessings  ripening  be ; 
Thine  Elder  Brother  is  a  King, 

And  hath  a  kingdom  bought  for  thee. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear ;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

5  Sweet  baby,  sleep,  and  nothing  fear ; 

For  whosoever  thee  offends 
By  thy  Protector  threatened  are, 

And  God  and  angels  are  thy  friends. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

6  When  God  with  us  was  dwelling  here, 

In  little  babes  He  took  delight ; 
Such  innocents  as  thou,  my  dear, 

Are  ever  precious  in  His  sight. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear ;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

7  A  little  infant  once  was  He; 

And  strength  in  weakness  then  was 
laid 
Upon  His  virgin-mother's  knee, 

That  power  to  thee  might  be  convey'd. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear ;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 


8  In  this  thy  frailty  and  thy  need 

He  friends  and  helpers  doth  prepare, 
Which  thee  shall  cherish,  clothe,  and 
feed, 

For  of  thy  weal  they  tender  are. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear ;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

9  The  King  of  kings,  when  He  was  born, 

Had  not  so  much  for  outward  ease; 
By  Him  such  dressings  were  not  worn, 

Nor  such-like  swaddling-clothes  as 
these. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear ;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

10  Within  a  manger  lodged  thy  Lord, 

Where  oxen  lay,  and  asses  fed: 
Warm  room  we  do  to  thee  afford, 

An  easy  cradle,  or  a  bed. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep  ; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

11  The  wants  that  He  did  then  sustain 

Have   purchased   wealth,  my  babe, 
for  thee; 
And  by  His  torments  and  His  pain 

Thy  rest  and  ease  secured  be. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep  ; 
Be  still,  my  dear ;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

12  Thou  hast,  yet  more  to  perfect  this, 

A  promise  and  an  earnest  got, 
Of  gaining  everlasting  bliss, 

Though  thou,  my  babe,  perceiv'st  it 
not. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  babe  ;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

George  Wither  (158&-1667),  1641.
